Generator Repair
When it comes to generators, some basic maintenance can go a long way towards staving off repairs.
Here’s two of the most important ways your generator should be serviced regularly to keep it running smoothly for when you need it most:
● Regular replacement of oil and oil filters, as specified by the generator’s manufacturer, will save you from seized parts, among other issues.
● Having the fuel changed regularly or the battery checked, depending on the type of generator you use, is also recommended.
However, sometimes in spite of perfect generator maintenance, parts can wear out or wiring can become damaged, and your generator will need to be professionally repaired.
Common Generator Problems that Require Repairs:
● Leaks. Depending on the type of generator you’re using, there are various fluids that might be leaking from your generator, including oil, fuel, or coolant. Leaks in any of these systems can lead to a cascade of issues with your generator.
● Blocked Heater Hoses. This problem can lead to extreme temperature increases in your generator, which can compromise not just the hoses, but the motor, as well.
● Dead Battery. Typically, battery failure results in a complete replacement and necessary installation.
● No-start. Frequently, when a generator won’t start, or runs rough, it’s due to a clogged carburetor. Over time, particulates in the fuel can stick in the carburetor. This prevents the fuel from passing through it, and can either keep it from starting, or cause the generator to run at a lower level of function.
